How to Know Someone is Serious

Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs

Leading up to and at FITposium 2018 I had countless people come up to me with questions on what could be the next steps in their journey.

After listening to their query I would give them both a short and long term strategy for what their next steps should be. Usually the short term action required that they followed up with me to let me know what they had discovered, done, taken action on.

Perhaps it was as simple as listen to this podcast and let me know your top take-aways… or research 3 photographers and get back to me with the name of the person who stood out to you the most.

Now here is where it gets interesting.

Imagine the number of people who dismissed my advice as if it was not serious enough to actually help them. In reality; it was a test. And we are paying attention.

The people who got back to us with their report to let us know what they did and discovered are the ones we know to invest our time and energy into. They are the ones who have proved they are serious.

The others, by dismissing the casual advice, really just indicated that they were not interested in doing the work themselves.

Consider how often you receive small solicited advice. Are you following it?

Those SMALL actions leave BIG impacts.

Time to Get LOUD!

Interviews, JP Blog, Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs, News, Personal Development

So many ideas falter and entrepreneurs fail. But they don’t fail because the  ideas were not great enough. They don’t fail because the entrepreneurs were not hard working enough. They fail because they were not LOUD enough and their message never got heard.

That is precisely why I created the GET AMPED MASTERMIND!

This year long mastermind is for entrepreneurs who are tired of being quiet and want to get loud! They want to get loud in their business and their brands.

Sounds amazing right?! But there is bad news. The bad news is that we are now over 50% sold out!

The 2019 mastermind includes:
· Strategy & Branding Review Session with both of us to set your 2019 goals and directions.
· TWO in-person high level mastermind weekend retreats featuring guest speakers, elite training sessions, group activities and special receptions for amplified business and entrepreneurial leaders.
· 1-on-1 Quarterly Check-in Calls with James or Kelly tailored to your brand.
· Monthly group coaching calls for accountability, further education and collaboration.
· Accountability partner to keep members on track.
· Photo shoot with James Patrick Photography.
· FITposium 2019 Full Conference Pass w/ VIP Access.

What we shared for the first time on stage…

JP Blog, Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs, Personal Development

This past weekend my team and I hosted the biggest event FITposium conference to date. More than 260 attendees from four countries gathered together because they all heard the same calling.

They all heard the calling that they could do more with their career, they could achieve their dreams and they could claim their brand!

With that came an important announcement along with both some good and some bad news.

The important announcement and good news is that Kelly Spartonos and I have launched the GET AMPED MASTERMIND!

This year long mastermind is for entrepreneurs who are tired of being quiet and want to get loud! They want to get loud in their business and their brands.

So why is there bad news? The bad news is that we announced this from stage and 25% of the seats available were claimed with another 25% also under discussion! The means ONLY HALF of the space is remaining for this elite opportunity!

The 2019 mastermind includes:
· Strategy & Branding Review Session with both of us to set your 2019 goals and directions.

Super Easy Tip To Getting Published

Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs

Here is a super easy tip to increasing your chances of getting published.

Go to the magazine’s website and scroll to the bottom of the site to find the like that says “Advertise With Us”

Click that link and go to their advertising page and seek to find their “Media Kit.”

The Media Kit will tell you a lot about the magazine including their demographic and distribution. But it will also tell you what their editorial calendar is for the year.

This is what they plan on publishing every single issue this calendar year. That is invaluable information to tailor your pitches. Suppose their September issue is dedicated to running and you could write an article for that. Or their October issue is dedicated to moms and you are a fit mom.

This shows that you did your research and that you are giving them the content they need when they need it!

If you want to learn more about magazines as well as meet face to face with top editors, then you need to attend FITposium October 5-7 in Scottsdale, Arizona. Register at FITposium.com/why

Are You In The Top 1% of the Fitness Industry? You Could Be…

Events, Industry News & Trends, Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs, Personal Development

There is forecasted to be more than 330,000 personal training jobs by 2026. However the average personal trainer makes just more than $50,000 per year. Less than 10% make more than $80,000 annually. But what if you want to make six figures?

Cracking that six figure mark, making multiple six figures and even breaking into the 7-figure range requires that you be in the Top 1% of the Fitness Industry.

Why are more people not more doing this? Because they are not leveraging the best practices in the industry and making the right connections to level up their brands.

At FITposium we want to provide you and all the rest of our attendees with the resources, connections and career-changing opportunities for you to level up, accelerate your growth and get into the 1%!

How to Grow an Email List

Marketing, Model Tips & FAQs

One of the best ways to grow your e-mail list is to offer something extra in exchange for people’s name and e-mail address. This is called inbound lead generation and your tool for this will be a lead magnet.

Lead magnets could be in really any form you want – but it comes down to something of value that is essentially an appetizer to a main course you could sell them later on.

Some examples of a lead magnet could include:

  • Short E-Book
  • Free Guide
  • Top 10 list
  • Free Video Series
  • Short E-Course
  • Quizzes
  • White Papers
  • Case Studies
  • Tip Sheets
  • Video Demos
  • Trend Reports
  • Free Assessments
  • And more

The idea is a free resource where you can develop a pool of potential consumers to ascend through a series of offers. The individuals who take the journey from your social media channels to take action on your offer are saying to you that they are interested in more from you.

Focus on delivering the best value you possibly can. You must always give your best stuff so subscribers do not regret signing up for your offering, albeit free one.
